1300+ SAT, 4.3+ GPA, large amount of extracurricular activities.

Computer Science, Engineering, Pre-med are all excellent majors to select here. Do NOT go here for 'business' with the intention of pursuing a job in the business field. If you want to do a PHD in Economics however, it's a good school for that. I don't know too much about the other majors.
